Marieta said that the the basement of the library building is the safest place to talk, so I followed her and explained.
There were other students who were hiding, and there were senior students who seem to be in the magic department because they were wearing green robes, but they seemed to be doing their research desperately, so I sat on the floor with a bookshelf behind me without worrying about it, and by the time I finished talking about everything with Marieta, it was closing time for the library building.
āUm. Well, a lot of things happened to Isabella, too.ā
āYeah. A lot of things happened.ā
āMore than half of them were just bragging about Ursch-kun.ā
āUrsch-kun is really cool, it looks like that, but heās a genius, such as inventing magical circuits of inventions and magic tools that are likely to remain in history. When I explain about Ursch-kun, Iām just telling the truth, but for some reason it feels like bragging~ā
āFor the time being, in this story, Iām going to believe Isabellaās claim that Ursch Schneiver is not a threat. I could feel that heās a troublesome person when heās and enemy, but if you say heās Isabellaās absolute ally, I can rest assured.ā
āYeah!! Having Ursch-kun alone, itās much more reassuring than having 100 experts from various fields.ā
When I went up the underground stairs of the library building while telling Marieta about Ursch-kun, the seniors of the magic department who went up the stairs first were stuck at the exit of the library building.
It seems that there were seniors from other departments on the other floors, and seniors wearing robes from each department occupied the front of the entrance in groups, so Iām not sure whatās going on around the entrance. All the seniors were silently looking out of the library building while pushing each other. I tried to move forward lightly, but the population density was too much about 5 meters to the entrance.
It was blocked by the seniors who stopped at the entrance, so when I was in trouble because I couldnāt go outside, Marieta called out to the seniors in a loud voice.
āUm. Senpai, whatās the matter? Arenāt you going outside?ā
Several seniors looked back at Marietaās question. Their expressions turned pale, their eyes were not in focus, and their mouths were half open and trembling slightly.
āEh. . . what happened to those seniors?ā
āEh. . . uh, it isā
The senior in the front was trembling and trying to squeeze out some words, but his voice was hoarse and I couldnāt hear it well.
āEh? What is it?ā
āBurning. . . Itās on fire.ā
Is it on fire? What is it?
āWell, including the staff building, all of the department buildings. It went up in flames. . .ā
When Marieta heard that, she pushed Bella to me and rushed into the group that was staying at the entrance. I hurriedly called out to Marieta while holding Bella tightly.
However, Marieta didnāt look back, pushed through the seniors and disappeared into the crowd.
Wait!! What the hell?!
I was thinking of plunging into the crowd, but I hesitated because Bella might be crushed in my arms. I didnāt get into the crowd, wandered around the hall while holding Bella and thought.
The entrance and exit was blocked by seniors. I wanted to go outside, but it was closing time, so there was only a front entrance available. Where could I get out? Where could I get out safely with Bella in my arms? I mean, is it okay to go outside in the first place? Isnāt it better not to do anything too dangerous because Bella is here? I mean, I dared to go through it so as not to pay to much attention to Bella.
Because itās me!! I donāt know how to deal with babies, so I donāt like infants!!
Because there were no babies around me in my previous life and this life!! I donāt know how to deal with them or how to talk to them!! Even now, I have no idea how to hold it at all, and I donāt know if I can leave it alone when itās wriggling in my arms, and above all, I canāt think about what to do if it starts crying!!
I stopped and watched Bella in my arms. I donāt feel like itās crying at the moment, but itās keeping quiet. . .
When I thought you were quiet, Bella, youāre eating my hair!!
āBut itās no good~. Donāt eat hair~. Letās get it out of your mouth~. Letās stop it~ā
I donāt know how to talk to her, so I became honorific to the baby.
But I wonder if she heard my voice like that, Bella turned to me. And when I smiled. . . she turned her eyes back and resumed the work of eating my hair.
I canāt get iiiiiiiiiit!! Stop iiiiiiiiiit!!! Donāt eat my haaaaaaair!!
I donāt put anything on it, but if you put my hair in your mouth, itās dirty!! Also, I canāt hide my shock because of the drool in my hair. I feel like I caught a glimpse of some of the reasons why Marietaās hair is very short unlike the games.
Bella is distracted by my hair, so it might be good that sheās not crying, but she might start crying when she realizes that her mom is not nearby. I donāt have any skills for taking care of a baby, so I might get stuck when Bella starts crying. I canāt do it at all. The baby is cute, but sometimes I glance at it and say, āWow. The distance to comment āthe baby is cuteā is just right for me right now!!ā
Letās chase after Marieta!! Letās put many layers of defense on Bella, buff her, chase Marieta and go outside. When I decided that, I looked for a window that I could use to go outside and started moving around the library.
